Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of torque in relation to a specific force applied to a door. Participants are exploring whether the torque generated by this force is zero, with a focus on the conditions under which this occurs according to the torque relation.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks for clarification on the point about which torque is being calculated and the plane in which the torque is considered.
  • Another participant specifies that the torque is being considered about the axis of rotation on the left side of the door.
  • It is proposed that if the force vector is parallel to the axis of rotation, then the torque will be zero.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express uncertainty regarding the specific conditions of the torque calculation, indicating that multiple views remain on how to approach the problem.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the discussion due to the lack of visual context from the image referenced and the need for more specific details about the force and its application.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for individuals interested in understanding the principles of torque, particularly in the context of forces applied to rotating objects like doors.

Torque about which point?
Torque in which plane?

torque about axis of rotation of the door left side
 
As long as ## \vec F \parallel (Axis of rotation) ##, then its torque will be zero.
